Building Model View Culture
the Week of January 18, 2016
After two years of successful operations, we’re finally ready to share a little more behind-the-scenes of Model View Culture. In this special issue, our founder and editor Shanley Kane discusses topics including funding models, marketing, ethics, business management, community relations, launching, sustainability and more. We look at how Model View Culture runs from both a practical and philosophical point of view, with lots of specific advice for running social justice organizations, publications, events, conferences, collectives and other awesome things in tech and beyond.
